The Platform
Four things every auction gets — no premium tier, no upsells.
Both buyers and sellers complete KYC and a liveness check before they list or place a bid. Everyone on the platform is verified — on both sides of the transaction.
You send the watch and raw photos. Our team builds the listing — condition report, provenance check, period-accurate copy.
Every auction runs for seven days with an open discussion thread — ask the seller, compare against reference, learn before you bid.
Funds sit in escrow until the watch is verified a second time on arrival. Only then does money move. Nobody gets left holding air.
Seller Fees
Every other way to sell your watch takes a percentage. Ours is a flat $99 — slide through any hammer price and see the difference.
Dealer trade-in assumed at industry-standard 20% under market · Leading marketplace commission per typical private-seller 6.5% schedule · Grey Market fee is flat $99
Your payment is held by Grey Market — not the seller — until the watch arrives and passes a second inspection. If anything's off, funds are returned in full.
Every delivery ships insured-to-value via our vetted courier network — signature required, end-to-end tracking, no holiday-season gambits.
Serial numbers are cross-referenced against Interpol and private registry data before any listing goes live. If there's a flag, the lot never publishes.
